It’s a safe enough spot but at the same time there’s always trouble makers doing things to the boats !

Yeah definitely man, they always love that tiny pause, probably the most exciting form of lure fishing 😅

Thanks David! The pause is definitely the most exciting part, when you get that sixth sense that there’s a fish under the lure, it’s hard to explain the feeling 😁

Thanks paddy, yeah It’s good fun even when they come off, getting the hit is enough 😁🙏🎣

Really good fun man, another few weeks and it will be crazy action in those shallow areas areas🐊

Love the sliders they are so easy to use aswel 🙏🎣

Have you seen the new 16cm salmo sliders Cormac?look good.

@NobleKorhedron the best option for us is 1mm 105lb fleurocarbon. Pike won’t bite through that. I’ve used it for 4 years now and you can imagine how many meter pike it’s landed and I’ve never ever been broken off. You can’t see the “weakness” on wire until it’s too late and snaps, heavy fleuro you can notice nicks after 20-30 fish and then change leader accordingly, it’s really the best option in my opinion.

@@NobleKorhedronyou’re welcome to your opinion, I’m not going to tell you how to fish. If you don’t like it you don’t have to watch. Thank you.

@NobleKorhedron all good friend. lose the anti-kink vane. Simple leader for lure fishing we use -> mainline 60-80lb braid - swivel(palomar knot) - around 60cm of 1mm 105lb fleurocarbon tied to a 250lb stayloc snap - to your lure. It’s very simple but effective. See my previous video on how to tie your fleuro leader. Lose the wire, you won’t look back, just don’t use anything lighter than 1mm 105lb fleuro. And use good knots, that’s most important, it will not fail, I’ve used it for 4-5 years now.

Thanks andrzej yes the water temps are still very cold ! 🎣

Thanks pauric ☺️

Thanks pal 👍

Would love to pick up the 16cm sliders, always sold out when I have the money 😂

Hi mark, ya the scariff end is full of big fish, lots of good weedbeds this time of year for pike and rocky structures to hold the trout. Side imaging will help you to find them structures to concentrate on. ☺️

Hi Colin! No I don’t debarb any of my pike lures, honestly with stiff rods you will just lose a huge amount of fish when they roll on the surface, a small barb on a hook won’t do any more damage to a fish than the treble hook already has done ☺️ that’s just my opinion man, I took out 2 lads yesterday, one lad had barbless trebles, hooked 4 fish lost 3 at the net due to barbless hooks, it’s just a nightmare trying to land them even if you keep pressure on, I’d rather keep the small Barb on them, never had any problem unhooking a pike ☺️🙌

I’ve all mine crushed and rarely loose fish but I’m not fishing from a boat could be something to do with a moving boat ? Bit easier to get out of a finger also on a bad day 😂

Oh I hear ya man there’s definitely some positives to it 😂👍 pulled a hook from my thumb last year, pike was still attached to it in the net at the time, sore one 😂👍

​@@senanstanleyfishingI've sat on a barbed treble before 😁 wouldn't recommend it!

Gets the blood pumping 🔥

Youl pick it up in no time man, just get out there as much as possible, if you’ve friends that fish go together it will make it more fun for you at the start ☺️👍

Oh shes well able to move 👌

River Shannon one in Munster ☺️👍

Brilliant will give it a go Shannon is great also was on a friends boat Wednesday we fished the Shannon from 7-4:30 also done some of the suck between 3 of us was 15 fish to the boat biggest was 17,3 new pb for my friend all were happy🐊🎣itching to go back already 😂

That’s a brilliant result especially this time of year ! 😎 keep up the good work !

Thanks senan big fan the videos keep them coming🤙🏼🐊🎣wish I was out today but have the flu maybe next weekend😂

Hi Conor, his contact details are in the description of the video 👌

Goway haha, could have been a problem with the rod I’ve heard a few lads broke these sg2 ones

@@senanstanleyfishing I’ll go with that sure hahaha

Great advice there man! I find that also, casting back over it immediately will get a second strike, it’s just when they suddenly appear under the rod Tip and bolt off when they see you that annoys me 😂👍 all part of pike fishing , they appear out of nowhere 😁

Sound advice James 👍

@@senanstanleyfishing Pike love to track baits from beneath! That’s why they are called the Ghosts ! Saw a 40”er eat a gosling once ! God’s Honest !

Absolutely, you’d never even know there’s a pike underneath tracking the lures 🐊
